New Microsoft Software-as-a-Service: PowerApps

Mobile First, Cloud First --> Repeat this mantra three times, breathe deep each time

That
is what Microsoft is doing by developing PowerApps. This is presently
in limited preview (by invite only) being developed by a small team at
Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise Group. Microsoft believes that there is
a huge bundle to be made.

PowerApps
service can used for creating,sharing and managing mobile business apps
on iOS, Android and Windows devices. It is really apps development for dummies
kind of thing. Developer need not be a coder and it is best suited and
used by those who have a business need but no programming skill. This
app is supposed to provide a quick fix for app creation in these days of
skilled developer scarcity without having to worry about security and
other details.
